Day 1

So day one wasn't too bad. I was eating dinner at 6 PM when it was time for me to stop eating, but I ate what I wanted of my dinner and was actually done with it by 6:08 PM. So not too bad. I started to get hungry about 5 hours after that, but it was about 11:30 PM so I just went to bed. So if the rest of the time is going to be like this then that's OK. I'll be able to get use to it pretty quickly and make it a habit.

I watched my portion sizes and my calories too yesterday and ended up eating a grand total of 1,072 calories out of my budget of 1,989. So that's pretty good. Now that it's 10 AM again I can start eating, but I think I'm going to wait until 11 AM. That way if dinner runs a little late I won't feel pressured to eat it super fast which isn't good. I didn't notice a difference in what I was feeling yesterday. It seemed like a pretty normal day. That gives me hope that this won't be too difficult.

Well here's hoping!

Had Some Girl Time

So today was pretty uneventful until after Husband went out to Uber. I was just starting a great youtube workout when Mom called. She was wanting to borrow a few things for dinner that night and I told her to come over and get them. She is working on losing weight as well and we got to talking about that. I ended up going over to their place and we both went swimming for an hour.

So today I got a lot of exercise in. We made a plan that I'm gonna start going over there in the morning and doing a workout with her and Sister. My sister, mom, niece, brother-in-law, and my mom's boyfriend. So tomorrow after I take my mom to run her errands we are gonna do a workout. I doubt we will swim again just because I need wash my suit now.

This is going to be my first morning workout. I'm actually kind of excited to do it with them. I hope that they are too. I am currently under my calorie range by 441 calories, but I will probably have a small snack before bed so that I can sleep through the night comfortably. Oh I did get my steps.

That's all for today.

Great Day and Right on Track!!!

Today was a pretty great day. I weeded the garden for a total of 42 minutes, did the dishes, and made dinner. Pretty awesome day! My garden is looking a lot better. Still needs some work, but not as much as it did this morning. Dinner was amazing. I made a pasta bake that I made up completely on my own.

I was pretty proud of it. Husband loved it too! That's always a good sign. He even went back for seconds. So I guess it wasn't too bad. Pretty simple day, but I managed to stay under my calorie goal. I have a calorie range and I still need 147 more calories to be in the range so I was thinking of maybe having a glass of milk or something to top off my night.

Pretty simple day but still felt like a great one.
